Why would you not tap in to the Jeep side of connector? Then you could pull the tail lights out without disconnecting your tapped wires. Seems silly to tap into the light side of the connector.
Always better to avoid tapping into wire harness unless you really need to. No room for errors with those. Mess up on one wire and the whole harness needs to be replaced.
I agree. As far as the harness goes the wires to reverse lights become permanent wiring and your lights should have plugs so they can be easily replaced.
Hey 3 questions, what bumper is that and did you run one pod to each taillight and could you tap in to the harness before where they connect to the taillight so you would be able to unplug taillights without involving the pod lights?
have a strange question...... have a 2015 jeep wrangler that the revearse light switch is basically doing the opposite of what it is supose to do....replaced switch and still revearse lights are always on......anyone have this problem?
NOOOOOOOOO! Bro don't use those splicers, the worst..they easily get moisture then you would be getting electrical gremlins. Ask me how I know. Spend a little more time to do it right.
Why would you tap into each light? Just tap into the Passenger side like you did and connect both pods to that one splice! No Need to separately tap into each one.
Actually its best to do both. For power purposes and reducing the load for the given wire. Thats alot of wattage for a single wire to do,a stock light and 2 aftermarket pods..so 3 total. When its only meant to do 1 light.

I agree, it was probably just an oversight .
simple instructions.... thanks. Only question is why not just wire to one side? too much load or what?
Best Explaination I have found, solid work, thank you sir!
thank u so much for your instructions
Sweet 👍 I've been looking for a way to upgrade my reverse lights

That is pretty small wire going to that tail light bulb. Are the LEDs going to draw too much amperage for that small wire?
Is this the same if you have the LED Rear Lights?
What about if you have led lights installed already?

Remember kids, there's the right way to do this and then there's this way. Always use a relay.
They're already on a relay, the one that controls the reverse lights. Adding another relay to the circuit is unnecessary.

I agree " sooo whats the Best Way?

Do you really need to use a really with LEDs? Seems like the minimal draw isn’t an issue for them...
Not really. Those small pods draw barely any power, and for the application in the video there's no need for a manual shut off.
Where can I buy the self tapping wire connectors ?
Alexis Gonzalez home depot amazon
What gauge wire is that?
dont do it
Your local auto parts store
Don't use scotch lo KS anywhere you have vibration or moisture. Basically, nowhere on a vehicle.
basically...
If you say basically one more time basically I am going to puke.
